What are you reading right now?

[Kiersten, Mod]

Read any great books lately? Please tell us all about them.

[Errin]

I'm in a Litsy bookclub where books and their journals make a round-robin through the mail. It's a great way to read books I wouldn't normally, although my current one falls within my interests: The Hazel Wood

[Jim]

Finished Demon's Moon - 4 star, I liked the way the characters introduced in the first book are growing and the new characters introduced were interesting, hope to see more of them in the next book

Started Silent Child

[Jim]

Finished Silent Child - 3 star

Started CONQUEST: The Dungeon Core Gambit Book One

[Rosie]

I came across this book Lost in Love in Amazon's Hot Release list. I loved it, couldn't put it down and read it all in one day! And it's going to be part of a series (yay!)

I noticed someone else has already given it a 5 star rating on here (which I will be adding to!)

[Jim]

Finished reading CONQUEST: The Dungeon Core Gambit Book One - 3 star, interesting premise, some problems with editing but good enough for me to read the next book in series

Now reading The Demoness

[Jim]

Finished The Demoness - 3 star, there were some editing issues near the middle of the story where the chapter order was jumbled, made in difficult to follow for a few chapters, overall a good story

Now reading The Crystal Heart

[Jim]

Finished The Crystal Heart - 4 star, interesting premise and engaging story
Also read Tutorial- 3 star, nothing ground breaking but interesting enough that I want to read the next book in series

Now reading Eye of Truth

[Jim]

Finished Eye of Truth - 4 star, I enjoyed the characters and their interactions with each other, the story was interesting and I look forward to seeing where the story leads

Started The Princess in the Tower

[Jim]

Finished The Princess in the Tower - 4 star, I like the way the characters are growing and developing throughout this series

Read Hyena Queen - 4 star

Succubus 3 (The Good The Bad And The Crazy Stupid Hot): A LitRPG Series - 3 star

Twice Drowned Dragon - 4 star, short book but a good story with interesting characters, I like the way that each book doesn't end with a cliff hanger

Justice Calling - 4 star, another short book, the main characters are interesting and the story was exciting, looking forward to reading the next in the series

Just started Magic Wild

[Jim]

Finished Magic Wild - 4 star

Started Crimson Alliance

[Jim]

Finished Crimson Alliance - 4 star, very action packed and built on the premise introduced in the first book

Started Fizzlesprocket

[Author MaryEllen]

I am reading Skipping Christmas by John Grisham!

[Author MaryEllen]

Just got the book today. So I don’t have anything to say about it yet.

[Jim]

Finished Fizzlesprocket - 4 star, a fun read with interesting and eccentric characters

Started A Vampire's Christmas Carol

[Jim]

Finished A Vampire's Christmas Carol - 3 star, as in the title it is a take on the classic "A Christmas Carol" with vampires, shifters, and angels
Also read Rogue Dungeon - 4 star, I enjoyed the fact that the MC was not a gamer brought into a video game world and did not arrive as a hero

Now reading Succubus 4 (Gnome Place Like Home): A LitRPG Series

[Samantha]

hello there, now that it's Winter Break for University, I actually have time to catch up on some reading and currently i'm reading,

[Starr (AKA Starrfish)]

[Jim]

First book of the new year Carved

[Michael]

Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin

[Jim]

Finished Carved - 4 star, I am enjoying the world created and the characters

Read Debbie Does Monsterland and wished I hadn't

Now reading Ice Planet Barbarians

[LilMisGrayBrisk]

I'm currently re-reading American Gods .

[Jim]

Finished Ice Planet Barbarians - I found it enjoyable with an interesting premise

Now reading Harmony Black

[Jim]

Finished Harmony Black - A 4 star read for me. Interesting characters and story line. I like the set-up for a overall plot that I hope to see woven through the other books in the series

Started Natural Mage

[Jim]

Finished Natural Mage - 4 star for me, this series is staying exciting and the new information on some of the characters is building the overall story line

Now reading The Tales of Iryvalya: Bloodlines

[Nerdy Werewolf]

Hi Jim! Have you read his other series, ? From what I understand, Harmony Black is a spinoff of those. It's been recommended to me several times, but I haven't yet gotten to them.

I really enjoyed that one when I read it the first time. I'm not sure if I would choose to re-read it, though. I hope you're enjoying it!

[Nerdy Werewolf]

I'm currently continuing reading the Geoff Johns-Green Lantern run (prior to the New52). I'm about halfway through this volume:

I'm also doing a first read/re-read of the Jane Yellowrock series. I'm finishing up today and starting .

It was not as good the second time around. It really dragged since I knew what was happening and kept wishing it would hurry along. Definitely feel this is a one-time only book.

[Treena]

I just finished ! So sooo sooo good. I can't wait for book 3 to come out. Alexis and Kieran are 🔥

[Jim]

Finished The Tales of Iryvalya: Bloodlines - 3 star, this wasn't a bad story, the pacing was good there were just some little things that I felt were irritating

Now reading Hard Magic

[Jim]

I haven't read the Daniel Faust series yet, but I plan to. I enjoy the Harmony Black character and the world that has been created and would like to see other facets of it.

You know, I thought that might be the case? Well, I'm sorry the experience was not as enjoyable the second time around, but at least now you know!

LOL. Nice.

I've actually heard from people in a different group that they enjoyed the Faust books more than the Black ones. I'd be interested to know what your take is since you'll be reading them the other way around.

I found the Harmony books on sale and I believe I have the first Faust one around here somewhere...I just haven't gotten to them, yet.

[Nerdy Werewolf]

I finished up my re-read of and possibly liked it better this time around? I accidentally deleted my review, so I can't really compare, but I rated it the same (★★★★☆).

I'm almost finished with , which I'm not enjoying as much as the last, but I'm still hooked and I think looking forward to reading book 3 since I never got that far last time. :)

[LilMisGrayBrisk]

I finished Ascension and while I liked it, it wasn't as good as the first one. I really like the main character but this book meandered quite a bit and I needed things to happen - 3.5 stars

I'll be starting the next one, Deception .

I had a friend that raved about that series. I'm interested to see if the third book makes reading the second one worth it. :)

[Ash]

Reading Six of crows! Till now for me it didn't live up to its hype tbh! Hope that it gets better also reading Dirty red by Tarryn fisher...interesting book! Kind of written in a villain point of view!

[Elayne]

Her Final Breath by Robert Dugoni. The author weaves a tale to keep you enthralled. He is a talented writer who draws you in to the deep emotions of the main character. This is one of my favorite genres, a thriller with all the intensity of a serial killer and the skillful detectives who work out what makes them tick and how to stop them.

@Ayten, do you know how to add book links? It just makes it easier for us to see (and possibly want to read) what you're reading. :)

That sounds very intense. What other books would you compare those to?

[Nerdy Werewolf]

I finished up , which was just okay. Not bad, not great. Okay. I've been told repeatedly that I'll love it if only I can stick with it.

So....now I'm reading . We'll see.

Not sure if that's how it is supposed to be done so please let me know! I am new to the whole goodreads thing.

[Ash]

The other book!

[Jim]

Finished Hard Magic - 4 star, I enjoyed the characters and world created. The story was paced well and did not get bogged down in details.

Now reading The Midnight Line

[LilMisGrayBrisk]

Mitabird wrote: "I'll be starting the next one, Deception...."

I finished Deception and it was better than Ascension. I struggled with it about the first half of the book but it got a lot better and I'm looking forward to the next one - 4 stars

I also listened to Charlotte's Web . I had never read this before and it really hit me emotionally. It was unexpected and I can see why it's a classic - 5 stars

I'm taking a break from fantasy and plan on reading The Face of Deception .

[Jim]

Finished The Midnight Line - 4 star, not all the Reacher stories are this good, but this one follows the formula that I enjoy with an underlying mystery and plausible action

Also read Game Master - 4 star, an interesting premise, an underlying mystery, and imperfect characters

Now reading Picking Up the Pieces

[Nerdy Werewolf]

No worries! That's why we are here. What you did absolutely links to the book in question. Try this out next time you post:

While you are in the comment box, there should be a link you can click on titled "add book/author" directly above the typing space. Now, click on that, and it will bring up a second box that allows you to search for whichever book you're looking for.

Before you click "add" you can choose either "link" or "cover" at the very bottom to decide how it will display in your comment.

Please let me know if this helps!

[Nerdy Werewolf]

I'm still reading . I'm taking my time on this one and definitely enjoying it more than the previous installment.
